iPhone-shaped paper notepads were C&D'd by Apple years ago. Is this produced under license from Apple? If not, isn't it awfully risky for anyone to contribute to the campaign when Apple could C&D you at any time?

Was that because you could draw tiny little apps on them without paying $99?

That's a good one, haven't heard of this before. Personally i think apple relaxed a bit from what they've been doing 3 years a go and have other things to worry about. Besides the design of WhitePad matches a number of other products on the market not only an iPhone.

You can't patent a 3x5 rectangular piece of plastic. Worst case they have to remove the design from the front and make it a little less specific.

I thought in Apple vs. Samsung, one of Apple's patents that was upheld was rounded corners -_-

Yeah, but rounded corners in phones :) not whiteboards. Anyways the whole patent-thing is getting ridiculous.

I agree that some of the patents are absurd when I hear the generalization of some of them, but seeing as I have no experience in patents (another headache), I'll keep my mouth shut :x
